Top Funny Car teams ready to tangle in Texas
SAN ANTONIO, TX – Let’s face it, the 2013 San Antonio Nitro Jam won’t be a race for the timid. With many of the top teams from 
across the country gearing up for a wild ride down 1,320 feet of Texas asphalt, there is no room for “comfort” when the fastest machines in the land take to the strip. No, when the top teams tangle in Texas, it will be “all out” for five seconds of 300 mile-per-hour glory with the winner taking home one of the most coveted trophies of the year – an Ironman from the San Antonio Nitro Jam.
Heralded as the biggest Nitro Jam in the United States, the sport’s top racers will be on hand for two days of nitro-powered racing action as drivers in Top Fuel, AMSOIL Prostalgia Nitro Funny Car, Fuel Altered and Nitro Harley battle it out alongside nearly half a dozen jet-powered machines, wheelstanders, fireworks and more at the 2013 San Antonio Nitro Jam presented by Good Vibrations Motorsports and CarSafe.

Hunter Begins Two Weeks of Racing in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, NV – A month has passed since Greg Hunter and the Kenny Gilmour-tuned ExactAir Compliance Systems Top Alcohol 
Dragster last raced down a quarter-mile racetrack. A disappointing first round loss at the season-opening Winternationals is behind them and they’re ready to start fresh at this weekend’s NHRA Lucas Oil Series regional event at The Strip at LVMS.
“We’ve had lots of time to go over everything and make sure the car is ready for two weeks of racing in Vegas. There was an unfortunate parts failure that cost us a first round win at Pomona so we made sure that issue was cleared up. We’re really happy with the direction that the new motor combination is going. We’re confident that it’ll run well and help us qualify well and win a few rounds,” claimed Hunter, a sophomore in the TAD class.
Fine Art and Drag Racing
Steven Andersen lived in Europe, graduated with a master’s degree in Fine Art from the University of Minnesota and had a life of 
luxury in New York City. He worked alongside Andy Warhol, signed autographs and even had a book published on his work by the Minneapolis Institute of Art. After leaving New York City, Anderson even had established his own nationally-recognized print shop. But with all that, the 67-year-old Anderson could still never truly forget his very first true passion – drag racing.
More than 45 years after exiting the seat of a Top Fuel car, Andersen couldn’t resist the urge to get back behind the wheel, ultimately leading him to Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School. “I guess it’s just that addiction to the sport. It’s hard to get out and stay out,” Anderson said.
Andersen, who lives in Minneapolis and is a longtime member of the Gopher State Timing Association (GSTA), got back in the sport in 2005, rebuilding cars and dragsters.
But there was the itch to do more and, within a few years, Andersen felt the desire to drive.
